Vince Russo is a highly divisive figure in the pro wrestling business, and over the years, many people have strongly criticized his booking philosophies and storytelling. Yet while it would be understandable if he harboured a great deal of hatred towards those who bash him so publicly. However, it turns out the new JCW booker actually dislikes only one person, telling Ariel Helwani in a recent interview that he and former WCW colleague Eric Bischoff are “oil and water.”
64-year-old Russo built his reputation at WWE, rising from editor of their magazine to co-writing the TV shows with Vince McMahon himself. So when he and Ed Ferrara defected to WCW in 1999, it was viewed as a seismic shift, with experts forecasting that WCW would quickly surge ahead in the ratings war. In reality, though, the outspoken New Yorker’s controversial creative calls actually triggered a spectacular backfire. Still, undaunted by WCW’s eventual downfall, Russo stayed involved in the industry, making a short-lived WWE comeback before signing on with the upstart TNA, coming and going multiple times over the next 12 years.
